Modi’s Gesture for Nadda, Caution Against ‘Family Politics’ and 2-Minute Silence: Inside BJP Parliamentary Party Meet

rime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president JP Nadda were felicitated at the BJP Parliamentary Party meeting on Tuesday for the party’s recent electoral success in Uttar Pradesh, Manipur, Uttarakhand and Goa. Modi and Nadda also received standing ovation from BJP MPs at the meet.

A poignant moment during the felicitation was when the Prime Minister gestured for Nadda to be garlanded first. The electoral feats – Yogi Adityanath became the first CM to win consecutive terms in UP in 37 years, the solo win in Manipur, the first repeat government in Uttarakhand and the performance in Goa — were the party’s first major victories under Nadda’s leadership.

Addressing the gathering, the PM is said to have sent a strong message to BJP MPs that “family politics” would not be allowed in the party and that dynasty politics in other parties will also be fought. “If anyone’s candidature was rejected, that’s my responsibility,” news agency ANI quoted sources as saying on the PM’s speech.
